the film that watches you back
Experience an interactive film using AI and facial detection technologies, right on your smartphone.
Set in a near-future world of biased AI and smart surveillance cities, discover if you are compliant or dissident through this immersive adventure.
Consensus Gentium is a powerful exploration into the implications of today's AI technology. It is an interactive artwork for iPhone that integrates cutting-edge facial detection and AI.
A simple quest to visit your sick Nana soon becomes dangerous after you download the sinister ‘Global Citizen’ app in order to cross between restricted city sectors. Friends, AI government officials and techno-hacktivists wrestle for control of your device and your focus as you navigate through a perilous series of choices to decide your fate.
The project harnesses the facial detection technology available in all smart devices and uses machine learning to create a new type of narrative experience. Immersing yourself in a world of surveillance and algorithmic bias masquerading as smart technologies, you will consciously and subconsciously impact the story as your facial reactions are tracked by the device.
Consensus Gentium encourages debate about data privacy, algorithmic bias and aims to make you more conscious of your subconscious behaviours - to take control over your data and ultimately your life. The project has been developed in consultation with computer scientists, techno activists and neuroscientists to create a world that is more science fact than science fiction.
Features:
• Engaging Storytelling: Dive into a narrative driven by user choices
• Important Issues: Explore AI bias, smart surveillance and technocracy
• Advanced Technology: Utilising AI, gaze tracking and facial recognition

• User Feedback: Share your experience to help us improve
Discover the implications of today’s AI technology and what the future might hold if we succumb to unchecked surveillance.
